Flash floods caused by three days of heavy rain struck several Malaysian states, leaving at least 3 killed and thousands residents to be evacuated. Search and rescue operations are ongoing for those who trapped in their vehicles and homes. Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Yakub stated that the precipitation intensity was greater than expected, and that the total amount of precipitation expected in a month fell on Saturday. Yakub also promised to help out the flood victims.
Landslides triggered by heavy rain have killed 7 people and left at least 21 missing in southern China. In Guizhou province, 2 were confirmed dead and 19 are still unaccounted for in Qingyang village, where rescue efforts involving 400 personnel continue. Authorities issued alerts for nearby Hunan and Jiangxi provinces, warning of further landslide risks. Similar rainfall last week killed 7 in Guangdong and Guangxi.
